Dashboard Overview: co2 Emissions and GDP per Capita_2022
This dashboard provides a visual exploration of the relationship between a country’s economic output (measured by GDP per capita) and its environmental impact (measured by CO₂ emissions per capita). Using data from Gapminder and other global datasets, the dashboard allows users to:
-Compare countries based on their GDP and CO₂ emissions.
-Track trends over time (1990–2022) to observe how economic growth influences emissions.
-Group countries by income levels to assess differences across Low, Medium, and High GDP categories.
-Explore interactive visualizations such as scatter plots, choropleth maps, bar charts, and time series lines.
-Identify outliers or key contributors, such as countries with high GDP but relatively low emissions, or vice versa.

QatarThe map categorizes countries into four GDP per capita groups — Low (Green), Lower-Middle (Yellow), Upper-Middle (Orange), and High (Red) — offering a clear visual of global economic disparities.
The box plot illustrates notable differences in CO₂ emissions per capita across income groups. Countries with Low GDP have the lowest median emissions at 0.46 metric tons, reflecting limited industrialization. Lower-Middle GDP countries show the highest median emissions at 3.77, possibly due to increasing energy use with fewer emission controls. Interestingly, Upper-Middle GDP countries have a slightly lower median of 2.79, and High GDP countries report a median of 3.22, which may indicate more efficient technologies and stricter environmental regulations in wealthier nations.
